How do you gain followers on Instagram?

[Allie]

Honestly I think buying followers is really dumb. I have 62k on Instagram (@awk0cheerio) and get an average of about 3k likes a pic. I do shoutouts for small accounts to help them but not too many sfs. I comment on a lot of smaller accounts pictures and say I like their account or say its cool, and it really makes a good impression when they know you care about smaller accounts. You can also go under hashtags and like pictures, or go under a big similar acc and go under their followers and spam them. Hope I helped!
